Aleunron Carinata – Wikipedia Wikipedia
from Wikipedia, L’Encilopedia Libera.
Aleuron carinata ( Walker, 1856 ) is a lepidoptera belonging to the Singingidae family, widespread in central and southern America.
Adult [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ]
It is easily distinguishable from other kinds of such Aleuron (apart A. cymographum ) for the presence, on the dorsal segments of the abdomen, of two black bands.
The male presents, on the anterior wing, unintected dark lines between the base of Cua2 and the external margin where, in the female, these appear more rectilinear. The lower page of the front wing, in both sexes, has a green-olive coloring, with a large round black spot, in the disc area. The lower page of the rear wing, on the other hand, has a yellow shades, with a post-abasal delegated line (D’Abrera, 1986).
Another distinctive character of the species are the very angled labial lips. In the male, the first segment of the labial palpus is clearly inclined lateral to the apex; In the female, however, it is slightly convex.
In the male genital, Uncus and the Gnathos remember those of A. chloroptera , but they are of greater length.
The wing opening ranges from 62 to 86 mm, the largest for this kind.
Larva [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ]
The first stadium of the caterpillar development is green, with an orange chief, and a long black caudal process, of the same length as the body. The next stadium (of mature larva) is hidden on the petioles during the day. The last stadium appears to be a lively green, which tends to the vinaccia color posteriorly, but takes on colors from green to brown red, according to the plant on which it camouflages.
Red [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ]
The caterpillars impute in underground rooms. The puppets appear black or orange with black spots. The pupal phase lasts, 23 days.
The area includes southern Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize, Panama, Venezuela, Ecuador, Brazil and Bolivia.
This butterfly has daytime habits. During mating, the females recall males thanks to a pheromone released by an abdominal gland.
Flight period [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ]
The adults fly from July to January in Costa Rica. A flight was reported in Panama in June.
Diet [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ]
The caterpillars feed on leaves of various species of dilleniaceae including:
